Owner Reunited With Stolen Puppies After Her Dog Was Killed
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Finally, good news to balance out a tragic act of animal cruelty in the Logan section of Philadelphia Wednesday night.
While one pit bull was killed, her puppies were found today, alive and well.
It's been an emotional 48 hours for Latanya Thomas after she discovered her female pit bull and the dogs- a pair of 3-month-old puppies- were missing on Tuesday.
Wednesday, the mother pit bull was found hanging from her own leash on a neighbor's fence in the 5100 block of Marvine Street.
Her two puppies were nowhere to be found, until today.
SPCA officers say a woman found the puppies but thought they were strays until she saw the the story on the news last night. She promptly brought puppies to the SPCA.
We were just able to speak with the owner moments ago who has the puppies back in her possession now.
"I came, I shut the door and I put the music on and I said what is that?" Thomas tells Eyewitness News.
Reporter: "Are you happy to have them back?"
"Yes," Thomas says.
The puppies were evaluated by the SPCA. We are told they are in good condition and we can attest to the fact that they look great. They are happy to be home with their owner.
